Title: Cowboy Big Rig Steve

Jurupa, California 7:23 PDT was starting location for BRT broadcast day. Yes, secret location was used for parking 18 minutes prior to  70 hours pumpkin clock running out. Los Angeles area traffic proved to be the norm today.

Castaic, CA 10:30 PDT rolled in to the Pilot for fuel stop as BC had been stretched by running on fumes. 

BRS continued on I-5 northbound through the beautiful grapevine (yes, it had recently been closed due to winter weather) greened up for spring on this beautiful day. Steve pointed out serval opportunities for great photographs to be taken.  Our tour guide was sharing his excellent photography skills of knowing where to get the best images. 

Big Rig Steve advised near Firebaugh, CA at 14:11 PDT on I-5 “Welcome to California suspension testing area”. Yes, BRS Rodeo riding skills were needed today. 

Near Santa Nella, CA BRS stopped for required 30 minute break at Loves 14:11 PDT

Rolling through beautiful sunny downtown Sacramento, CA at 17:11 PDT, BC low fuel warning light was illuminating. 17:21 PDT BRS had a question for the BRT Road Crew as what is the purpose of the double stickers on back of many of the EV vehicles. Several RC members in BRT YouTube chat noted the answer was for allowing them to drive in the HOV lanes.

As BRS arrived at delivery, he flipped the camera to Australian mode as we drove into the receiver. After flipping us back we had large beautiful lot for BC to park for the night after delivery completed.  

Steve went to check in and returned at 17:47 PDT and advised we were all checked in. BRS noted, “nice people here”. Apparently smiles, no frowns here.

Shop day tomorrow. Appointment in the morning back down in Lathrop, CA so plan is to broadcast the short trip. Be ready to jump on the BC for the ride tomorrow. 

No snowman camera due to being on property overnight. 

Another good day for Big Rig Travels.
